I get the feeling that people have become insensitive to the case (or the person) and there is more of a tabloid atmosphere...
I agree. I think people have become to insensitive to the case and the victims (the deceased, the family, the innocent accused of crimes they didn't commit and the economy of Aruba). I think people have also become too polorized to think straight and are out to prove their point without regard to the truth or the evidence.

I agree would should not put all our eggs in one basket, but until then, we have to realize that those tourists bring in a lot of money and its effecting businesses and the Aruba economy.

Thanks for bringing this point of view; because this is the real discussion I think they should be having: "How much of the population is suffering, if any...the business/kind of businesses affected etc..." That's what has to be dealt with now; new ideas for immediate solutions

Good point. But supressing any discussion of the case is not good. What is better is to make sure that the discussion is actually useful.

Wowwwwwwwwww,
Something happened in Aruba. The people of Aruba they feel bad for what happened on the Island. Why people cannot have any discussion over the case??? Why it has to be a big deal????Why is that the NH-case is the motive of pointing finger on Aruba and why is the NH-case , the motive of the economy problems in Aruba.?? I understand their(Arubeans) feelings, that they are suffering. But that is no shame to talk about the case. There is more outside there to feel and to say..shame on you..!
I hope that the persons or person who did this to NH, is not an Arubean.
And I hope that if it's so. Then no more discussion about the NH-case.
Case closed!!!
But Aruba is and will be always a Nice and Beautiful Island.
Don't you people think so??

I think that a lot of good people are afraid to talk about it because of some of the people out there who have agendas. And its come to a point where even the mention of the case, and people automatically assume people are talking trash.

I think,after a few days without listening to the radiostation of Aruba, I still have this feeling that noone is pointing finger on Aruba, their own people are doing this to my tiny li'l Island. I wish and hope that they can realize what they are doing. And that make me feel like ..wuawwww what a shame on my people.
and with a BIG  to the gouvernement with all his politicians. Sorry I am open for any reply.  NOPes.

True. Except for a minority of very vocal narrow-minded non-Arubans, most non-Arubans don't blame Aruba. To me it seems the Arubans are more freaked out about this than everyone else.

In The Specific Case of N. H. in Aruba
As we all know the Aruban and the Dutch Criminal Law system is the same. As we also know that when a crime issue of what so ever is committed by one person, and the suspect is detained, and is in custody of the Prosecutors office there is between day one or the first day of detention, till the last day when this case will be presented with no delay in the Court of Law is 146 days. The first 2 days is the Police day's investigation, follow by 26 Days of the prosecutor office and the last 118 days in hands of the Judge Commissioner office. All three concerned working together with the Investigation Team. Also we all know from the first press conference of the Chief of Police that they have given all the suspects 5 Article of law. Not even the Aruban people are aware sometime that the entire process from day 1 till the last day according the Law is 146 days. So there is no one, or no Country, or no Family from the victim or suspect, or no Press media, local or U.S not even CNN or FOX who can put pressure on the Prosecutor office or the investigation Team. And also is good to know that the Law system don't work with the Press Media. So what come over to you by the U.S Press is not official, so I can say you, they have no credibility what so ever. The Legal system they give no information what so ever about a specific Case. In this case, the Holloway case. For instance not even the Lawyer can have all information from the prosecutor office. As you all ready know the J v/d S Lawyer have bring an appeal case in the Court in the Netherlands Antilles to demand the Prosecutor office for document of the case. The Lawyer can not give any information to the press not even the Prosecutor office don't give any information to the public that is the Law system. The only thing they always say, the investigation is going in good direction and we will bring this case to the Common Court of Justice. Till in the Court of Justice after the 146 will everybody will have all information of the investigation and till in the last details because it's public. But what was happend in Aruban Court the Judge Commissioner have suspend the case, and this thanks to the media circus and family who have interfere all the time. So in this situation, this case will come forward after 2 times 365 days. So after 730 days from 10 June 2005. This was a cooling off perriod, that is the Dutch system.
